I just don't know how to be around him and his friends because hes a few years older than me.. plus I'm a virgin and he's not and I'm nervous about doing anything because I've been single for over a year. i feel like I've forgotten how to be in a relationship, please help :( — Anonymous
Thank you for sharing your situation. You get to decide how you behave in any relationship. It’s always a good idea to be yourself and only do things you’re comfortable doing. A lot of people get into a lot of problems because they try to act like someone else or do things they don’t really want to do.
You might find it helpful to just keep getting to know this person. Hang out, talk about things, ask each other questions and listen to each other. The more you know about him the more you’ll know whether he’s a good fit for you. As you get to know one another you’ll also become more comfortable talking about all kinds of things, including how you feel about each other. The key is to just keep it friendly and positive and continue learning about him so you can make positive decisions.
Remember that you deserve to be with someone you know really well and who appreciates the great person you are. Take care.
